Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

"Changlan Newspaper... I understand." Miss Junsha, who arrived late, nodded at the five people piled on the ground. They had long suspected that there was something fishy behind Changlan Newspaper, a small company that suddenly moved from Kanto to Sinnoh. Unfortunately, although Changlan Newspaper often did evil things, they controlled them well and most of them were just petty thefts. Junsha and other alliance law enforcement officers did not have any sufficient reasons to conduct detailed searches and trials and could only impose slight punishments.

And now, they finally have a chance, a chance to eradicate this cancer.

"You two should also be targeting Shuimai City, right? Do you want to go with me?" Miss Junsha from Shuimai City made the invitation.

Aislo and Mary looked at each other and did not refuse. Besides, they also wanted to see who this person standing behind the Changlan Newspaper was. After all, the Pokémon configuration of the five people lying on the ground not far away was too similar to that of the former Team Rocket, which was really suspicious.

After a brief exchange, Aisiluo and Mary followed Junsha and quickly rushed to Shuimai City. At the same time, Miss Junsha took out the communicator to contact her colleagues and explained the current situation. Now, they were going to launch a surprise attack on the headquarters of Changlan Newspaper.

……

At the same time, on the other side, at the entrance of Shuimai City, a nobleman of the same age as Chihong and the others, with short silver-blue hair, was walking slowly here. He was observing the city in front of him with a strange expression on his face.

"【The City Reflected in the Water】...Will Registeel really choose to sleep here?" Daigo, who came to Sinnoh from Hoenn, felt the obvious sea breeze and was already prepared in his heart that this trip would most likely be in vain.

"But no matter what, I still have to go and take a look." Daigo thought so, and then stepped into Shuimai City.

What Daigo would never have thought was that the moment he entered Shuimai City, his photo had already been placed on someone's desk.

……

"Mr. Daigo...?"

Inside a dim office at Changlan Newspaper, a blue-haired man in black stretched out his slender fingers and picked up a photo on the table. The photo showed Daigo walking into Shuimai City.

"What a pity~" The blue-haired man stood up with a weird smile on his face. He casually took off the black hat and white gloves hanging on the hanger and put on a coat with a big red "R" on the chest.

——Lance, although he is good at using honorifics, he is the most cruel and terrifying cadre in the original Rocket Team. He can be said to be a true terrorist.

"Looks like I have to say goodbye, everyone~" Lance lazily walked around his room. He knew that this temporary base was in danger. Although it was a pity, after all, all the trainers of Hoenn, regardless of their strength, had been trained by the remnants of the two stupid teams, Team Magma and Team Aqua, to have an inexplicable intuition against evil organizations. In Lance's words, that is: sharper than Arcanine's nose, and extremely annoying.

As for what to do with those men who are still in the newspaper office, who are ostensibly reporters but are actually members of Team Rocket... Lance shrugged his shoulders. What does the life and death of his men have to do with him?

As the most admired cadre in Team Rocket, Lance has never lacked admirers. Wherever he stands, countless people will flock to him, and that is another group of people.

But before leaving, Lance suddenly turned his head and stared at the corner of the room with a gloomy expression.

"Long time no see, Lance." The person who spoke to Lance was a blue-haired young man who had appeared in the room at some point. The man waved his hand casually as a greeting, and then he continued, "Why, you look so anxious to get out, what are you doing? Are you trying to escape?"

"Don't act pretentious in front of me, Lambda, change back to your original appearance immediately and tell me what you are doing here?" Lance snorted coldly and looked at "Apollo" not far away with disdain. If he had to say who the person he hated the most in the entire Team Rocket was, it must be this pervert who was good at disguise not far away.

"Haha, was I right? That's right, the former champion of Hoenn has arrived, and you, a rat in the sewer, can only flee in a panic." As a human skin mask fell, Lambda also took off the skin that belonged to Apollo. His smiling look made Lance want to punch him in the face.

"Hehe, I'm a rat in the sewer, then who are you?" Lance responded to Lambda's words.

Lambda listened to Lance's words and just smiled indifferently, "I am different from you now, Lance~ I am a good person."

"Good guy? Lambda, you should know what kind of person you are. It's okay to deceive others, but don't end up deceiving yourself." Lance sneered, "Do you really think that you can become a so-called good guy just by saying a few words? Stop having this ridiculous daydream!"

"Daydream?" Lambda's face gradually showed a smile of success. Then he slowly took out a small notebook from his arms and asked with a smile, "I'm not just talking, old friend~ Do you want to see what I have in my hand?"

Lance looked closely and saw three large characters written in shining gold on the small notebook - "Sasaki".

The next moment, Lambda's fingers moved slightly, and another certificate was revealed. The difference from the previous one was that the handwriting on this book was "League Trainer License".

"Sasaki... Alliance?" Lance's pupils shrank slightly. "You went to join those three idiots?"

"It's not just me, or rather, it was Athena and Apollo who got me to join. Come to think of it, I really owe them a thank you." Lambda waved the "golden medal of immunity from death" in his hand as if to show off.

"So this is your purpose? Showing off...ha, so stupid." Lance put one hand into his pocket.

"Oh? Are you really going to fight me here, Lance~" Lambda still had that grin on his face, "Or... are you sure you can take me down quietly in a short time?"

"..." Lance withdrew his hand silently. Although he hated the person in front of him very much, he had to admit that Lambda was a cadre of the Rocket Team and his strength was also that of a standard veteran king. It would be very difficult for Lance to take him down silently. In the end, Lance still did not do it, because since the other party dared to come, he must be sure to leave.

"Originally, I came here based on our friendship as colleagues, and wanted to recruit you... Unfortunately, you are still the same as before. I'm afraid you won't be recognized by Master Kojiro~ Hahaha..." The laughter at the end of Lambda's words sounded extremely harsh to Lance's ears.

"Okay, okay, I won't disturb you from escaping, dear Mr. Lance. I hope that when we meet next time, what I see won't be your mutilated corpse." Lambda walked out the door slowly and patted Lance on the shoulder when he passed by him.

"...Hmph!" Lance's face was gloomy, and after a pause he walked towards the door.
